Form isn't great. Too much weight on a bar makes for a slow jump shrug. Kind of loses the whole point of a jump shrug. Again, some shitty jump shrug form. I don't see extension through the ball of the foot or hips. A lot of leaning over the bar.

Doing it chains might be interesting. I have no experience with chains but it is intriguing.

Still, in their use it isn't unsafe and their athletes are going to gain from it.

Whatever gets the teams winning. There's definitely worse out there than clean pulls with chains. I do wonder what the reasoning behind a blob of chain is though, rather than a few short strands. Several shorter chains would give a much more linear weight increase than a blob.
